Why won't I put clothes on them?


I become so sick of that question, why don't I put clothes on my drawings or paintings, the answer is simple block head, because they are nude figure art works!!!!!

Art is a part of us, something within us that we need to express, to release into the universe....and if I want or need to let my little pieces of my soul run around nude, I will.......not all of us feel the need to bury our bodies under mountains of black or white material with only our eyes if even that allowed to be seen........

It is the part of me that needs to be free, to race across the sky chasing rainbows, or frolicking along a meadow with butterflies, listening to the buzz of the honey bees, while the birds chirp among the tree tops........

It is the part of me that needs to skinny dip in the ocean, swimming with dolphins, being chased by waves and collecting sea shells, or wonders what it would be like to make love on the sand under a bright full moon......

It is painting with mud after splashing in puddles after a storm, allowing it to dry on the body and not caring who watches me run carefree through the woods, collecting pine cones and leaves to press, showering it off under the waterfall turning my skin blue, because the water is from melted snow, while dreaming of a lovers kiss, causes a rise in heat from deep within the soul.......

These are images that need to be expressed, and not all can be covered in cloth as if to hide who I am in shame, there is no shame in being me.......no shame in my drawings of the nudes.....
